Instructions

Make the pastry dough: Process the first four ingredients in a food processor until blended. Mix the ice water and vinegar and fork this into the dry ingredients to make a dough. Pat into block, wrap and chill overnight.

Set oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly mix the farmers cheese with the eggs. Divide pastry dough into quarters, (or eighth's for smaller pans) and divide the remaining ingredients accordingly.

Roll out the pastry to circles, and cut to shape of pan, with an inch overhang. Place dough in pan and layer ingredients, beginning with chopped ham, then farmers cheese blended with eggs, then asparagus, then gruyere.
